The G.o.d of Conspiracy’s Kingdom was located in a hidden place that was known to none except itself—at least, it believed that by now.

Though the Dragon of Chaos had made it lose confidence, no one knew what was happening in the kingdom. Thus, they had decided not to disclose the secret of the treasure and break the relations.h.i.+p. Instead, they intended to make a proper plan and wait for another chance to take back the treasure from the dragon.

This wasn’t known to the G.o.ds who were just keeping an eye on different issues.

The G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest had been stabbed in the back by the G.o.d of Marsh, the ent.i.ty collapsing and dissolving into the void. Again, there was a strange rhythm lingering around the place where it fell and slowly condensed a glowing crystal.

It was the ent.i.ty of “b.u.mper harvest.”

Many G.o.ds held their breath upon seeing the crystal.

The priesthood of b.u.mper harvest wasn’t a minor one. With that alone, a G.o.d of Belief with mid-level Divine Power could be nurtured; even one at the medium peak would be possible with tens of thousands of years of dedicated effort and even Great Divine Power with the proper opportunities.

Quite a few of them still remembered how strong the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest had been back then. Only the two master Nature G.o.ds had been powerful enough to prevent her from usurping the throne!

While the G.o.ds all had their eyes on the priesthood of b.u.mper harvest, the G.o.d of Marsh vanished with a weird smile on his green, mud-covered face, not attempting to take advantage and gain a part of the power.

This was unexpected. Years of fighting between the G.o.d of Marsh and the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest had caused them to know each other well. The G.o.d of Marsh was capable of sharing the priesthood of b.u.mper harvest, even though it had totally different faith with “b.u.mper harvest,” or at least a part of it did.

Yet he seemed completely uninterested. The other G.o.ds were therefore impressed by this low-pitched G.o.d, and some of them even thought of working with him, since at least he didn’t look like a greedy partner.

Without the G.o.d of Marsh there, the “b.u.mper harvest” priest was left in the void with multiple eyes staring at him.

Suddenly, the G.o.d of Rain, a Nature G.o.d, flew over and tried to catch him.

He had been in a good relations.h.i.+p with the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest. They had worked together for years and known each other well. Besides, “rain” was closely related to “b.u.mper harvests,” as moderate rain was key for a b.u.mper harvest. If the G.o.d of Rain was granted “b.u.mper harvests,” he would merge this into himself in a few days to hugely promote his own Divine Power. With a few more years of development, it could probably have become one of the greatest.

But before the stout G.o.d of Rain could rush toward the b.u.mper harvest priesthood, it was stopped by a lanky mummy-like figure in a gray fog.

“You wis.h.!.+” the lanky one sneered and wielded a pair of bone-like daggers that were aimed at the G.o.d of Rain.

The lanky figure turned out to be the G.o.d of Drought, the G.o.d of Rain’s lifelong rival and sworn enemy. The two of them had been against each other, both secretly and publicly, for over tens of thousands of years, including a few times where blood was shed. It was because both sides had helping hands and allies that both of them were still around now.

The G.o.d of Drought knew nothing about the priesthood of b.u.mper harvest, but he was sure of one thing—he wouldn’t allow his rival to have it!

So his task was simple—to strive to stop the G.o.d of Rain from approaching the priesthood of b.u.mper harvest!

As they were about to fight, the G.o.d of River, another Nature G.o.d, jumped out, came to the battlefield, and went to the priesthood of b.u.mper harvest.

“Rivers” were also related to “b.u.mper harvests,” as usually fertile lands were near rivers, so he had also had a good relations.h.i.+p with the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest and had cooperated with her a lot. And he could also merge this priesthood for his own gain, too.

But… he was also stopped like the G.o.d of Rain.

Before he had fully gone around the battlefield, he was stopped by a hot wind and sand. From the hot wind came a giant cactus—the G.o.d of Desert.

The relations.h.i.+p between the G.o.d of Desert and the G.o.d of River was similar to that between the G.o.d of Drought and the G.o.d of Rain. Thus, the G.o.d of River took out his artifact “Torrent Rod” immediately and swept straight towards the G.o.d of Desert without hesitation.

It was clear that he would have no way to take the priesthood, so all he could do was strike the one who had stopped him!

“Haha! I never expected to finally get it!” A girl wearing light clothing giggled and flew over to the priesthood on the warm south wind.

This was the G.o.ddess of South Wind, who wasn’t really related to the priesthood, but could still be connected to it somehow…

It wasn’t time for her to celebrate yet. When she stretched out to take the crystal, a fair-skinned and brawny arm reached out from behind her and grabbed her hair to pull her back.

The G.o.ddess of South Wind cried out in pain and took out its artifact to stab backwards, but she was being held by a much taller and stronger white-haired G.o.ddess. That G.o.ddess did a judo move and bound the two of them closely together.

“Let go of me!” shouted the G.o.ddess of South Wind.

“You wis.h.!.+” said the white-haired G.o.ddess of North Wind coldly.

The G.o.ddess of North Wind was actually not as powerful as the G.o.ddess of South Wind, but she had better battle skills. The G.o.ddess of North Wind was as strong as a bull and looked like a bear in human-skin, while the G.o.ddess of South Wind looked slimmer and more delicate, like a dancer who would perform at a luxury hotel. She might have been at an advantage for her flexibility on a large battlefield, but would have no chance to rival the G.o.ddess of North Wind when it came to contests of pure strength.

Other G.o.ds came before it was too late to grab the priesthood, but things didn’t change much. They all had rivals stop them on the way.

Pairs of rival G.o.ds were fighting for the priesthood of b.u.mper harvest, creating an scene that was equally as grand as before, when a dozen devils had besieged the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest.

“These people…” sighed Sui Xiong. “They were slow to come when the G.o.ddess was in danger, but quick as rabbits after she died and left behind her priesthood! Why didn’t they fight so hard earlier?!”

“Whether you’re a beneficiary or not makes a difference,” sighed Yorgaardman, depressed.

He had tried his best already and even received help from his men, though the fall of the G.o.ddess of b.u.mper Harvest had still occurred. That depressed him, and what was happening now in front of him also p.i.s.sed him off, as it was a matter of integrity. He felt like he was noticing a worm while eating an apple—or even worse, a half-eaten worm…

When the G.o.ds were still fighting against each other, the G.o.d of Sky in the front row of the Pantheon temple sighed and said to G.o.ddess Gaia next to him, “This is ridiculous! Please do something.”

G.o.ddess Gaia smiled and took out an extraordinarily large palm from the void. She waved the palm over to shove a dozen G.o.ds, then the palm stretched out directly to the priesthood of b.u.mper harvest.

That was why Great Divine Power was different! The G.o.ds couldn’t do anything, though they were angry.

But G.o.ddess Gaia had already given them a chance before, and they just hadn’t seized it, so they were better off shutting their mouths now.

G.o.ddess Gaia’s giant palm caught the priesthood, but didn’t do anything with it. Instead, it quickly shrank into a light and trapped the priesthood inside to prevent it from leaving or being grabbed by others. At this time, G.o.ddess Gaia appeared and glanced at the crowd coldly.

“How ridiculous of you to create such chaos!” she said imperially. “I will take the priesthood of b.u.mper harvest for the time being, and its final owner will depend on how you behave.”

Everyone became silent, and the G.o.ds lowered their heads.

n.o.body could do anything but obey the top master of Great Divine Power since the ancient times.

Except for one…

While all thought this was the end of the day, the G.o.d of Justice stood up.

He roared while rus.h.i.+ng towards the priesthood, raised an axe, and hacked at the light-covered priesthood with the hard axe.

G.o.ddess Gaia was stunned, but was too late to stop it!

The axe was being wielded rapidly but strangely, it looked like it was moving rather slowly.

All eyes watched it fall on the light and easily break it, then it fell on to the crystal of the priesthood and broke it into pieces without much resistance.

“B*tch!” the G.o.d of Justice carried his axe on his shoulder and glanced at the crowd coldly.

“None of you ever stand up until you smell the meat. *ssholes!”

He stared at G.o.ddess Gaia viciously, looking like he was ready to fight.

“And you, as well! You would have been able to save Moritre without too much effort, while I risked my life fighting against masters to save him, and my men were all in the fight against a dozen masters… We’re the ones who deserve this, not you!”

He shouted again, “A wh.o.r.e just wanting a good reputation. You really p.i.s.s me off!”

He looked even more vicious, and his hair almost stood on end, coupled with his murderous intent. He held his axe in his hands again and posed, ready for a fight.

“You all p.i.s.s me off! Get out of here!”
